Appendix:Bug Type

The type is one of the 18 Pokémon elemental types. Many Pokémon that belong to this type evolve quickly. Caterpie, Weedle and Wurmple evolution families are the most recognized examples, evolving at Level 7 and reaching final form at Level 10, making them the earliest evolutionary lines to reach their final form among all Pokémon that have 3 stages and evolve by levelling up. Bug-type Pokémon are statistically known to be weak in their overall base stats, and many different types resist Bug-type moves. Powerful Bug-type attacks are also rather scarce, yet they can still be used to deal with Grass-type, Psychic-type and Dark-type Pokémon.

Trivia

 * Despite having different base stats, Scizor and its pre-evolution Scyther both have a base stat total of 500. In fact, Scizor is the only Pokémon to not have its base stat total changed upon evolving.
